Pretty girl you never see yourself like they see you
Like they see you, like they see you, like they see you, like they see you yea
Pretty girl it must be such a pain just to be you
Just to be you, just to be you, just to be you, just to be you yea
Sometimes you wish your beautiful were something they could see through
They could see through, they could see through, they could see through, they could see through yea
So you feel disconnected from everyone who meets you
Cause everyone who greets you
Only sees your beautiful
Only sees your beautiful
Never sees through to your soul
So deeper grows the gaping hole
That people call beautiful
I tried to take the time just to know ya
Just to know ya, just to know ya, just to know ya, just to know ya yea
But couldn't penetrate the walls that enclosed ya
That enclosed ya, that enclosed ya, that enclosed ya, that enclosed ya yea
You see yourself through every eye that beholds you
That beholds you, that beholds you, that beholds you, that beholds you yea
Afraid to love anyone who could love ya
Cause everyone who loves ya
Only loves your beautiful
Only loves your beautiful
Never sees through to your soul
So deeper grows the gaping hole
That people call beautiful
Perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect body
Wit nothing inside it but pain, you try to hide it
Wit a perfect persona peronifying perfection
Living through the perception of everybody's perspective
If you could rip your face off you probably would, but then you'd never make it Hollywood
Cause that's all you probably good fo
That's what ya mama used to tell ya
So if anybody would know she would know
But she was never proud of ya, and you could never impress her
Never saw your degree she studied your hair texture
You could marry a doctor or a college professor
Mama taught you the lesson that beautiful is a weapon
Why not aim it at being a trophy wife
That he could put on the shelf whenever he felt like
As long as he gave you that black card to swipe
What's love got to do with it when you could just fly
To Dubai for the weekend, never mind the hurt
Never mind your intelligence or your hard work
Never mind your heart and how it bleeds through your shirt
Cause they only see your beautiful but never see your curse
